This Went All Wrong

You were never supposed to be a choice.

You were never supposed to be a lesson,

a hurdle,

a thing to learn from

and overcome.

So That’s About It

The voicemail you left

on my twenty-second

birthday is still stuck

in my phone. And by

stuck, I mean I can’t

bring myself to delete it.

And by in my phone, I

mean I got a new phone

so I actually transferred

it to my laptop.

Sometimes I listen to it

when I can’t remember

what you sound like.

Thames St.

When I woke today,

my whole front lawn was dotted with dandelions.

All I could think about

was that summer we spent in Baltimore

when her hair turned out yellow in every photograph we took,

and how I haven’t been back since I kissed her

with a mouth full of gelato

and she laughed against my teeth.

I never tell the whole truth in my poems.

I wanted them to be better than us.
